Builder contracts are written to protect builders. Our advisory service gives you a clear-eyed, independent review of the process — before you commit to anything.
Builder credit toward advisory fee may be available but is not guaranteed. This is an advisory-only service. No agency relationship is created.
Builder contracts are drafted by builder attorneys. Terms around delays, cancellations, and deposits often heavily favor the builder.
Design allowances sound generous until you walk the showroom. Upgrades add up fast, and many buyers overspend before realizing it.
Completion dates are often estimates, not guarantees. Understanding what "substantial completion" means before signing matters.
Structural selections and upgrades may be non-refundable. Knowing the decision timeline helps you avoid costly regrets.
Builder warranties often exclude more than they cover. Understanding what's actually protected — and for how long — is critical.
Many builder contracts require binding arbitration for disputes, which limits your legal options. This deserves careful consideration.
We review your situation, the builder, and what stage of the purchase process you're in.
We go through the purchase agreement in plain language, flagging key terms, deadlines, and risks.
Observational visits at key milestones so you understand what's happening with your home.
Final document review and closing preparation so you walk in informed and ready.
